Silcoates Junior School pupils aged between 4 and 11 have written over 150 Christmas Cards to people receiving live-in and home care from Promedica24 across the UK.
Children filled the cards with festive drawings, from Christmas trees, to snowmen, reindeer and candy canes. The cards were hand delivered by regional managers and live-in carers to the people supported by Promedica24.
